Day 684 – We’re wired (and approved)!

May 10, 2012

Yes, after weeks and weeks and weeks of waiting – we got the wiring finished and approved by the city! Even though we passed, we had a few things to clean up from the inspection, namely some fire blocking to install and some smoke alarm boxes that needed to be grounded (who knew those things were code? And how do you ground to plastic box anyways?). Nothing is “hot” in the new addition yet (electrical-wise), as even though it’s all connected, for safety we just need to hook up a wire in the box in the basement to get current.

Next steps? Insulation, which should begin tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!
